r/Palawan

Hi all!

May I ask for your suggestions on where to stay in El Nido? It’ll be my first time visiting, and I’ll be traveling solo din. I initially planned to stay in town para close to everything, but I also kinda want to stay somewhere beach-front and away from the crowd.

What I’m considering right now is either staying in town or making Lio Beach my base since they offer a free shuttle, so I can still save on transportation going to town.

What do you guys think? Are there any other areas you’d suggest?

Thank you.

Hello! Maulan ba usually pag last week ng September sa palawan? Naga-aalangan kasi ako if itutuloy ko pa yung trip ko this coming september lalo na ang intense ng ulan lately

Okay, I need to rant a little because I’m starting to feel like I completely wasted my 7 nights in Coron

I arrived on the 15th around 5 PM, dropped my bags at my inn, and went out to find somewhere to eat. Ended up at Sharky’s and actually really liked the food and the vibe.

Day 2, I basically just rested. I was so tired that I literally fell asleep around 4 PM. Then I went out for lechon that I found nearby and ended up at a food park because apparently there’s a fiesta happening here, so that was actually nice. And I went to Mt. tapyas too, after that.

Today was supposed to be my Super Ultimate Coron Tour… BUT LO AND BEHOLD, I GOT MY PERIOD. Fuuuhhhh!!!!

So I moved the tour to Wednesday, hoping it’ll have calmed down by then.

I was thinking, okay, no tour today, I’ll just go to Maquinit Hot Spring this afternoon. And now… IT’S RAINING.

So now I’m sitting here thinking… did I just waste my 7 nights in Coron??

I think part of the problem is that I had a completely different idea of what Coron was like. I thought there would be more of a beach-town vibe where I could just walk around, find a beach nearby, swim, chill, etc. But now I’m realizing that the really beautiful beaches are mostly accessed through tours andboats, and Coron Town itself is pretty quiet.

I’m here until the 22nd and I really don’t want to spend the rest of my trip just waiting for my tour days.

So please tell me what else I can actually do around Coron/Busuanga on the non-tour days, especially if the weather is being shitty.

I’ve already done Mt. Tapyas, and I’m planning to try Maquinit Hot Spring when the rain cooperates.

Am I doing Coron wrong, or is this just what Coron is like when you’re staying in town and not doing island tours every day?

Also, if anyone has been here recently in August, what did you do when the weather was bad?

Please help me salvage my vacation

Hi everyone,

We are scheduled to Coron this Aug 22-29 but Im not sure what to do about it considering the weather.

Is it doable especially we have 1yo and 4yo with us?

Is the weather improving somehow?

Thank you in advance

Wala po kasi akong idea kung anong maganda. Thanks po in advance sa sasagot.

We will be having our coron trip tomorrow till 21 and seeing the weather from the news right now kinda discourages me or disappointing to the point na parang di ako sure if mag eenjoy ba ako. Baka suddenly bigla nalanf magcacancel tour namin or what and nakakainis la talagang masisilayang araw during those days of our tour huhuhu

Hello! Mayad nga apon baka may ma recommend kayo na trusted na motorcycle mechanic yung kaya ayusin yung error 12 ng Aerox v1. TIA

I’ll be traveling to Puerto Princesa next month for my birthday. This will be my first time visiting Palawan, and I’d love some recommendations on places to go and things to do. So far, I only know about the Underground River and the firefly tour. 😅

Please recommend must-visit places, activities, food spots, and any tips I should know for my trip! 💕

Things to do* planning to go in El Nido, can you suggest other activities aside from the usual island hopping and tours? I'm thinking of joining Yoga Session, Run, Surf sa Duli Beach ba yun...

I just got an email about my job interview and I want this job really pero tumiming po sa Tour A namin po. Kailangan po before 8AM nandun na po sa tour and 10AM po yung interview ko. May boat po ba na pwede makahabol sa group? Kahit hindi na po pumunta sa nalampasan ng time. Yun na lang pong current time itinerary? Sana may sasagorlt. I like to spend time with my friends po huhu
